00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Ravens team reported to Baltimore today for the start of

4
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: training camp. After the players arrived, we had a chance

5
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:19,800
Speaker 1: to hear from a few of them, including veteran linebacker

6
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Roquan Smith.

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: Travels any good places since we last talked?

8
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I was fortunate enough to get over to Paris.

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 3: Paris was really cool. Got to hang out with a

10
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: good bit of my guys and other guys around the league.

11
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: Did Spain as well. Spain is pretty cool. I've been before,

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 3: just did Barcelona this time and then got over to Germany,

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 3: which was a random spot for me, but I was

14
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 3: over there in Europe, so I'm like, why not try

15
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: something new?

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 4: So it was cool. It was interesting.

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Bro.

18
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 5: What are your thoughts on the addition to Eddie Jackson.

19
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 6: And you played with?

20
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I'm very happy to have an here.

21
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:03,920
Speaker 3: I think he'll be a great asset to our team.

22
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 4: Put a lot of playmaking ability.

23
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 3: He's proved it before, so I think with the group

24
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 3: of guys that we already have here him coming along,

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 3: I think it'll be really good for him and being

26
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: really good for us as well.

27
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 5: Did you put in a good word with their did?

28
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 5: He asked, Hey, would you would you think Eddie?

29
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: Oh?

30
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, I like you know, I always tell the truth.

31
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 3: I got great respect for Eddie. Been knowing Eddie since

32
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 3: I came into the league, And like I said earlier,

33
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: I think he's a great asset for our team. Obviously,

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: been making plays in this league for a very long time,

35
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: and with the guy with the pieces that we have here,

36
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: and then with his talent and having him in his role,

37
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 3: I think it'll go well for us.

38
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 5: Obviously, the defense have unbelievable year last year. The guys

39
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 5: lost a few players on that side, brought in some guys.

40
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 5: Can they be can you can the unit be as

41
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 5: good as last year?

42
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 7: And it's so how.

43
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 3: I think we can be better, honestly, and I know

44
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 3: we can not, just more so think, but yeah, have

45
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 3: a great deal of respect for the guys that we're

46
00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 3: here before. Good luck to those guys and the places

47
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 3: that they are. But I have the utmost respect for

48
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 3: each and every guy that's in here, and I know

49
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 3: the potential that each and every guy have, and so

50
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 3: it's all about just going out and proving it week

51
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: in and week out, and I think it starts in

52
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 3: training camp, day in and day out. You know, it's

53
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 3: definitely everybody's decided early on. And I know we got

54
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 3: the mindset of guys pushing through diversity when we face that.

55
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 3: But I love the pieces that we have here and

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 3: I think we'll be able to show that to the

57
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 3: world soon enough, and maybe we'll come back to this

58
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 3: conversation at the end of the year and we'll be like, Wow,

59
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 3: can we be better than that?

60
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 6: What do you think about that?

61
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: Because obviously whenever he changed coordinators, people are going to

62
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: be like, how different is it going to be? I mean,

63
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: you have a lot of the course in core players back,

64
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 2: but you know, with Zach being here, how much different

65
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 2: do you think this defense will walk?

66
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 3: I think the pieces are very similar that's here, and

67
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: I have a great deal of respect for Zach. His

68
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 3: mind's that he's been out there on the field, and

69
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 3: believe it or not, Like obviously him and Mike are

70
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 3: two totally different people and they're unique in their own way,

71
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 3: but through the headset, they actually sound the same. It's

72
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: like all these every voice I've heard through a headset

73
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 3: all sound the same, and I'm like, is that Mike

74
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 3: or something like?

75
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 4: Then?

76
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 3: I told Zeo one day during OTA, So it's pretty funny.

77
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 3: But I'm excited for Zo, for him to showcase what

78
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 3: he's able to do with the pieces that we have

79
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 3: here and showcases to the world. And you know, we've

80
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 3: all been doubted before things. Oh may not be as

81
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 3: good as this or that or the third, but hey,

82
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 3: that's what the game gives us.

83
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: An opportunity to prove that.

84
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 3: And I have a great deal of respect for Zo

85
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 3: and that he'll prove it weekend and week out. And

86
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 3: it's gonna start here in training come preparing for the year.

87
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: Mike didn't really blitz heavily out there. Do you think

88
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: Zach might be a little bit more aggressive than than Mike.

89
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: Hey, I think we're all They're all unique in their

90
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: own ways. So you know, come week one and you

91
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 3: know throughout the season, we'll all see for ourselves and

92
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 3: not just a word them out.

93
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 5: Look one, Trent and Simpson, you know we've heard you

94
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 5: talk a lot about him. What have you seen out

95
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: of him football wise, IQ wise, et cetera that he can,

96
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 5: you know, can step into that role next to you

97
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 5: again sort of you guys, maybe not miss a beat there.

98
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, Trent Man, the guy works his tail off

99
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,119
Speaker 3: like no other, always trying to find ways to get better,

100
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 3: and you can see it day in and day out,

101
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 3: his approach to the game, his extra meeting time, and

102
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 3: the guy is probably one of the most athletic people

103
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 3: on the team, if not, you know, jumps out the

104
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 3: gym four to three speed, can do everything. And I think,

105
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: you know, with more reps in him putting it all together,

106
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 3: I think the guy really has a chance to be

107
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 3: special and he has a hungry attitude. So I'm just

108
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 3: excited to go to work with him, and I know

109
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 3: we'll be complimentary to each other out on the field,

110
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 3: and I'm excited for it.

111
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 8: At the end of Minnie Camp, you said he had

112
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 8: plans to go with the Trent on a trip to that.

113
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 7: Was that able to work out and what was it

114
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 7: like being with him if so?

115
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 6: With any stories of the checks.

116
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 4: No, we actually wasn't able to make it out.

117
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 3: We tried to make some last minute adjustments, but at

118
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: the end of the day, you know, we all have

119
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: lives outside, so he had some things he had to do,

120
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: and you know, I still got me a few trips in,

121
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 3: but I'm sure he got out on a trip as well,

122
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 3: So I was excited for him, and I try to

123
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,119
Speaker 3: tell him, you know, it's about getting out and experiencing life,

124
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: you know, outside of just American in a sense, and

125
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: like you know, understanding other cultures and things that you

126
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 3: know just bring you joy and it and you know

127
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 3: you can learn a lot. So I think he's he's

128
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 3: taking that in and he got out and enjoyed himself

129
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: a little bit, and that's what it's all about, enjoying yourself.

130
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 4: Now it's back time and the work.

131
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 7: How's the new music thing you got? Jatia don Oh?

132
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,479
Speaker 4: It was pretty cool.

133
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 3: So it was just a little sneak peak weekend, the

134
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 3: July sixteenth weekend, I think that was. Yeah, so it

135
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 3: officially opened up in August, So excited about that.

136
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 6: Should be pretty cool.

137
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: Look, one, this team has done so well in the

138
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: regular season, you know, and put yourselves in great positions

139
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 2: for the season. You guys haven't gotten to where you

140
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 2: want to be that what do you think in your

141
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: mind it has to be, you know, to get this

142
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: team just over that one extra hurdle to get.

143
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 6: To that super Bowt.

144
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I think it starts right now.

145
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 3: I think it just honestly starts with each and every

146
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 3: person looking themselves in the mirror day in and day out,

147
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 3: and when times get tough and taking that extra step saying, hey,

148
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: this is what gonna get us over the hump, and

149
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 3: every person raising their standard, even myself, there's things I

150
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 3: can do better, There's things every single person on the

151
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 3: team can do better, And it's about if you hold

152
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 3: yourself to that high standard, which I know each and

153
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 3: every guys felt the pain last year, and having that

154
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 3: drive and that pain filling all throughout the offseason as

155
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 3: well as throughout camp when times get tough, just going

156
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: back to those moments and not forgetting why you're doing

157
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,280
Speaker 3: it and who you're doing it for outside of you know,

158
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 3: the name on the back of your jersey, but for

159
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 3: the guys that's in the locker room, for everybody that's

160
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: paying their hard on money, for the sick kids who

161
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 3: are huge fans of us, that you know or do

162
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: anything in the world to be in our position. So

163
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: I think when you think about all of those things,

164
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 3: it just truly like gives you an extra drive. And

165
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: I think when you look at each and never got

166
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 3: in the locker room. I think that's the attitude that

167
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: we have, and I'm just excited for us to showcase

168
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 3: that starting out in training camp, getting better against each other,

169
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 3: and it'll always be about competing against each other because

170
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:23,920
Speaker 3: that's what it'll be out.

171
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 4: On the game that game field as well.

172
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 8: When you talk about your belief that you feel like

173
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 8: the defense can be better this year than it.

174
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 9: Even once last year, is it because of that mentality?

175
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 10: What do you feel like.

176
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 4: Feeds into that?

177
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that mentality is definitely part of it.

178
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: But I think also with the guys, you know, more

179
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 3: experience playing with each other. You know, there are a

180
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: couple pieces that are gone, but I think the most

181
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 3: more time that we've had together understanding each other, this

182
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 3: bunning throughout camp and I think willing to put everything

183
00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 3: on the line just a bit more for one another

184
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 3: and knowing that what the ultimate goal is to get

185
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: to where we want to go and we all know

186
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: where that's at. But it's going to start a one

187
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 3: game at a time and one day at a time, honestly,

188
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 3: and I'm excited for it.

189
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 11: Requin just individually, is there anything in training camp that

190
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 11: you're looking to accomplish, or any particular area that you.

191
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 7: Want to focus on.

192
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a lot of a lot of things honestly

193
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 3: that I want to focus on. But talking with coach

194
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 3: de Leon, which I think is a great asset for

195
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 3: us as well, Like there's something that where we're gonna

196
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 3: do as linebackers, like you know, each and every day,

197
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: where it's writing things down where it's like, Okay, these

198
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 3: are things that I want to focus on and getting better.

199
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: But I think there's so many things I can get

200
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,000
Speaker 3: better at, like whether that's you know, disengaging off blocks

201
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,520
Speaker 3: quicker because there's never you never could be quick enough.

202
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 3: Whether that's route recognition, matching routes better, you know, catching

203
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,720
Speaker 3: more interceptions. I dropped a few last year, so getting

204
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: on the jugs even more so like things like that

205
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 3: and causing more have it, forcing more turnovers, that's like

206
00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 3: definitely a thing that I want to do. Get a

207
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 3: lot more punches on the ball, so expect that a

208
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: little more, a lot of big hits. But people I

209
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,360
Speaker 3: know curl up sometime when I'm coming. But the fist

210
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 3: is coming as well, So I'm excited about that and

211
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 3: being able to showcase that and try to take my

212
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:09,319
Speaker 3: game to a new level.

213
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:18,720
Speaker 1: We also heard from veterans tight end Mark Andrews.

214
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 7: Yeah, you're seven.

215
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,959
Speaker 2: I mean how different does it feel? I mean, does

216
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 2: it feel like you're seven?

217
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 7: For you?

218
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 9: You know, time flies when you're having fun.

219
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 7: It doesn't feel like you're seven.

220
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,320
Speaker 9: It feels like just yesterday coming here as rookie, and

221
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 9: but you know, so excited, a lot of work has

222
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 9: been put in and excited to see where this team

223
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 9: goes during training camp.

224
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 8: Mark, you said you're feeling pretty good as you broke

225
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 8: for the off season. Just puts your healths out aside

226
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 8: right now?

227
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 7: What are you feeling great? Yeah? I feel awesome. I see.

228
00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 9: Like I said, I spent a lot of work in

229
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 9: the off season to work on myself and again after

230
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 9: as you know, just put in that work and excited

231
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 9: to go out there and help this team and continue

232
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 9: to grow in this offense and get better together. And

233
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 9: I feel hundred percent, you know, if not better than

234
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 9: I ever have.

235
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 8: How does it feel going from working out and training

236
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 8: as a rehabilitation versus working and training gets stronger and

237
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 8: improving and not having to get back to where you were,

238
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 8: but growing.

239
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 7: I think it's a delicate balance.

240
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 9: And I think, you know, that's one of those things

241
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 9: when your body knows, it knows, you know, And there's

242
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 9: a point this off season, you know where I was.

243
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 9: You know, it's like you go to bed one one

244
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 9: day and you wake up the next day and then

245
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 9: you start going. You start, you know, you work on

246
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 9: your strength to start working on the football stuff instead

247
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 9: of the the rehab stuff. And you know, thankfully, pretty

248
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 9: early on in my my training, you know, sessions of

249
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 9: the off season.

250
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 7: You know that happened.

251
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 5: I think you last time, you know this, you mentioned

252
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 5: you did some things differently maybe in the off season

253
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,320
Speaker 5: that it liud the you know, coming back from injury

254
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 5: and so forth, as an example of maybe something different

255
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 5: you did. You know, you're seven versus year two or whatever.

256
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 3: You know.

257
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 9: I think for me, you know a lot of balancing

258
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 9: a little different muscles and started doing a little bit

259
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 9: of Pilate's stuff like that.

260
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 6: You know.

261
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 9: But I ran a ton this offseason, you know, I

262
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 9: think everybody knows, you know, I like to work hard,

263
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 9: to like to the only way to get better at

264
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 9: football is playing football. So we spent the time, you know,

265
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 9: me and my family and everybody involved to run a

266
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 9: lot of routes, catch a lot of balls and excited

267
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 9: to show that.

268
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 6: Off Who was covering you this year and who was

269
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 6: throwing the ball in your family?

270
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,000
Speaker 7: My brother, my brother was covering me, my dad.

271
00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 9: We have the ball machine, so he's he's the quarterback

272
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 9: gun thing that he's a sniper on it.

273
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 11: Mark last year, you all are learning todd marketing confidence.

274
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 11: Having the year under your belt.

275
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 7: Now, how has that changed this training camp for you and.

276
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:36,920
Speaker 9: The rest of the off It's great, you know, it's

277
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 9: it's only going to evolve more and more. I think

278
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 9: as guys get more comfortable as always in year two

279
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 9: after having an offense and learning it, things are new.

280
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 7: You're trying to figure out who you are and as

281
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 7: an identity.

282
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 9: And I think right now we've got a really clear

283
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 9: picture of what we want to be, how we want

284
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 9: to operate and be efficient and give the tools to

285
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 9: Lamar and coach Monk to to being the best player

286
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 9: at all times. And yeah, it's gonna evolved. It's gonna

287
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 9: look little bit different, but I think it's gonna be

288
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 9: really well polished.

289
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 10: I know it's probably hard to remember a year ago,

290
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 10: but does it feel like you're.

291
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 8: Starting from a much higher platform this year's you kick

292
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 8: off training camp as opposed to.

293
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 7: The last year with one hundred percent.

294
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 9: You know, I think just the knowledge and understanding of

295
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 9: you know, of what we know of the offense, terminology,

296
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 9: all that stuff.

297
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 7: But you know, having a year in the offense, you're.

298
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 9: Able to see, you know what kind of works, you know,

299
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 9: where dangerous at you know, mostly in what plays, you

300
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 9: know in certain instances, and so we're taking all the

301
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 9: information you know, applying it and uh and growing off that.

302
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,199
Speaker 7: How good do you think this is?

303
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 10: This secondary We went up against some training camps.

304
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 9: We got an incredible defense and that's and that's you know,

305
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 9: with iron sharpens iron, and you know, we're gonna have

306
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 9: our hands full with with going against those guys and

307
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 9: excited about those competitions. It's gonna make us better, you know,

308
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 9: Let's make our receivers better and make the tight ends

309
00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 9: better and we're gonna be flying around. We're gonna be competitive.

310
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 9: But at the same time, you know, it's it's, uh,

311
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 9: you know, we love each other.

312
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 5: A little bit different edge training camp when you know

313
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 5: it's the Chiefs week one.

314
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 9: You know, I think that's a. It's it's fun to

315
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 9: be able to look forward to that. You know, it's

316
00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 9: a big game. It's it's the first game of the year.

317
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 9: You know, I'm some of that. You know, I take

318
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 9: one game at a time, so right now it's you know,

319
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 9: it's one practice at the time, and I'm.

320
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 7: Focused on that right now.

321
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 9: Obviously, it's an exciting thing and if it gets it going,

322
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 9: it gets you going. But for me, it's just day

323
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,959
Speaker 9: by day getting better, you know, helping this team get

324
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 9: better and you know, taking each practice to work on something,

325
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 9: to to make us as well rounded as we can be.

326
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 5: Adding a guy like Derek Henry, just how excited her

327
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 5: here for what he can bring to this offense.

328
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 7: It's incredible.

329
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 6: Man.

330
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 9: You know, you have a guy like like Derek, and

331
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 9: then you got number eight in the backfield. It's you know,

332
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,760
Speaker 9: we've been against you know, Derek so many times, you know,

333
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 9: in the last you know, seven years I've been you know,

334
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 9: playing here. So you know, just knowing that the type

335
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 9: of type of player that he is, you know, how

336
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 9: tough he is, and the type of game plans you

337
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 9: have to have for a guy like Derek is it's

338
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:57,760
Speaker 9: gonna be all eyes on him and eight, you know,

339
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 9: and so for us, you know, being around those guys,

340
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 9: it's it's making the plays. You know, that's going to

341
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 9: open things up for for some really good things, which

342
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 9: I'm excited about.

343
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 2: And Mark, I mean, you did so much to get

344
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: back to just even the AFC Championship game, and you know,

345
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: everything you did in the spring I think probably exceed

346
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,840
Speaker 2: the expectations here. When did you kind of feel for

347
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: yourself that you like you said you feel one hundred percent.

348
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:18,920
Speaker 4: When did you kind of feel like.

349
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm one hundred percent, and and how did I feel?

350
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,320
Speaker 4: What should you got there?

351
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 7: Yeah?

352
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,040
Speaker 9: It was probably you know about you know, March April,

353
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,960
Speaker 9: about a month after the season ended. You know, I

354
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 9: put in some work stabilization stuff, but it felt incredible,

355
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 9: you know, be able to go out there, you know,

356
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 9: run her out. You know, I know I know what

357
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 9: it had felt. You know, we worked really hard, you know,

358
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 9: right after I got the surgery because it was a

359
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 9: quick turnaround, so you know, the pain.

360
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 7: Thresholds and all that stuff had to go through a lot.

361
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 9: So for me to be able to go through the

362
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 9: off season and go through a training session and feel incredible,

363
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 9: you know, be flying around and have the next day

364
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 9: and be able to do it again.

365
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:55,400
Speaker 7: That was a great, a great feeling.

366
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 2: And with Lamar and now I mean again you know

367
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 2: seventy and with Lamar too, With you guys, is there

368
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 2: anything that you have seen that maybe if in his

369
00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: progression that has really impressed you the most, maybe if

370
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 2: it's even over the past, like just this past year.

371
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 9: Being with one, Yeah, I think he's just I think

372
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 9: Lamar is just like everybody else, you know one. He's

373
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,760
Speaker 9: the most special player in the world. You know, there's

374
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 9: no one else like him. He's the best quarterback in

375
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 9: the NFL. And he continues to show you know why

376
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 9: he's labeled that, you know, and and for me in

377
00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 9: my head, it's just constantly making the big plays, constantly

378
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 9: making the right decisions and leading us guys. You know,

379
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 9: he's our he's our captain, our leader, and we all

380
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:37,800
Speaker 9: look to him. And he's got a heavy burden on

381
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 9: his shoulders, but he comes to work every day, has fun,

382
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 9: enjoys it and.

383
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 7: Just year after year he's impressive.

384
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 9: He grows and that's not easy to said because he's

385
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 9: already at the very top.

386
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 4: And how is that?

387
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 2: I mean, because obviously as a team. You guys have

388
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,000
Speaker 2: been very successful, and he has been very successful, but

389
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: you haven't been to where you want to be. A

390
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 2: lot of that criticism gets placed on Lamar. How has

391
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 2: he been able to kind of handle when it seems like,

392
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, as a team you win and lose,

393
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: but he sometimes kind of gets the brunt of it.

394
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, I think that's a part of the

395
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 9: position and part of being Lamar. He's grown up and

396
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 9: had to had to, you know, deal with things like

397
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 9: this his whole life. And you know, the thing that

398
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 9: stands out about him is he's got an incredible faith

399
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 9: and belief in God and in himself and and his teammates.

400
00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 9: And uh, when you have belief in something else, it's

401
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 9: it's easy to get through things. It's easy to you know,

402
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 9: help other people carry that weight. And he does a

403
00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 9: great job of, you know, just you know, just being

404
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 9: himself and not letting the outside noise affect him.

405
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: Defensive tackle Justin Madabike also talk with the media. He's

406
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: expected to have a big season after signing that contract

407
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: this offseason. He discussed his goals and expectations going into

408
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: this year.

409
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 11: So, how'd you spend your time away past two weeks,

410
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 11: I was here majority of the time. Other than that,

411
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 11: I was in Atlanta training, uh, getting better, polishing up,

412
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 11: getting ready for the season. But usually I just was chilling,

413
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 11: hanging out, working out, and it's trying to stay cool,

414
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:20,679
Speaker 11: getting ready for the season. So yeah, any training from

415
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 11: that later I would I would Jabo dathe t rob

416
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 11: my my man dads walked out. I've been training with

417
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 11: the past uh three off seasons, so uh, you know,

418
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 11: I definitely told her Jabo and d uh Daph about it,

419
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 11: and trop C attacked along as well. So it's cool

420
00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 11: to have my boys with me out there and training

421
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 11: and just getting better.

422
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 12: But uh, yeah, now I'm going with Zach is the

423
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 12: defensive coordinator. Yeah, A lot of people until they get

424
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 12: to see you guys playing games. How different it's gonna be.

425
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 12: You know you spend here in the spring. I mean,

426
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 12: how different do you think this defense will.

427
00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 6: Be on under Zach?

428
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:55,320
Speaker 3: Uh?

429
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 11: I think it'd be great under Zach. You know, Zach

430
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 11: is a defensive mastermind. He knows where UH put us

431
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 11: some positions to be successful. You know, you know it's

432
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 11: our weaknesses, you knows, he knows our strengths. He knows

433
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 11: how he can utilize us to play great on defense.

434
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 11: You know, I feel like our defense gonna be even

435
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:09,479
Speaker 11: better than uh last year.

436
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 3: You know.

437
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,360
Speaker 11: I just feel like guys are being accustomed to each

438
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,440
Speaker 11: other and just growing as just not only players, just

439
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 11: as brothers. And I think we just create uh strength

440
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 11: and growth and trusting each other. I think it's gonna

441
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,639
Speaker 11: be a testament to how good we're gonna be this year.

442
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 3: That's at every year of your career, you've gotten better.

443
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 5: You double with your sack tails.

444
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,159
Speaker 10: Every year, and then that would be lofty for this

445
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 10: year if you doubled it, But how do you get

446
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 10: better this year?

447
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:35,760
Speaker 6: I just stay present. I just stay in the moment.

448
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 11: I always have to understand that I always had to

449
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 11: put the work in to get the results that I

450
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 11: wanna get, and I try to stay uh true to that,

451
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 11: and uh just focus on the little things like you know, sleep, diet, nutrition,

452
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 11: you know, just little things that I can just j

453
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 11: ju j just as little pub just as little pebbles

454
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 11: that just add up over time. I try to focus

455
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 11: on those things. I know, uh, putting in the work,

456
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 11: you know, that'll check that list off. But just doing

457
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 11: the little things as well throughout camping, throughout the season,

458
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 11: and just adding of a thing, go.

459
00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,120
Speaker 10: It is your very exact cool but this year higher

460
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 10: than it was last year.

461
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 6: How what you couldn't for last year?

462
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 11: Uh, it might be, it might not be, you know, uh,

463
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 11: but it's definitely it's d d uh definitely double dig

464
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:10,600
Speaker 11: just for sure.

465
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 6: I know I can.

466
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 11: I'm that type of player. I know I expect highly

467
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 11: of myself and uh, I have to hold myself to

468
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 11: that standard. But I just take one day at a time,

469
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 11: stay present and put the work in just.

470
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 6: A whole along those lines.

471
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 10: And did see someone like Aaron Donald, you know, just

472
00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 10: be an All Pro last year and still only finished

473
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 10: with like seven or eight sacks? I mean, does that

474
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 10: kind of help you caliber your expectations of what a

475
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 10: successful season can be on an individual level?

476
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 6: Yeah? For sure.

477
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 11: You know, he's one of the greats, w one of

478
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 11: the greats of all time to play. And you know,

479
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 11: I honestly when I came in as a rookie year

480
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 11: and I wanna be like, not like him, but play

481
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,560
Speaker 11: like him in a sense of just being great and

482
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 11: just being a known player in this league. And you know,

483
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 11: I just out of that focus and I guess you

484
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,439
Speaker 11: could say year after year after year, I've gotten better,

485
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:51,119
Speaker 11: and I guess it's been working. But you know, I

486
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 11: have a long way to go and to d even

487
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 11: be mentioned in the same sentence as him in terms

488
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,440
Speaker 11: of play. But you know, I'm determined, I'm willing, and

489
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 11: I'm just gonna take one day at a time.

490
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 5: Just didn't know. Yeah, we talked to you obviously in

491
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,920
Speaker 5: the side the extension and talking about how flash do

492
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 5: you were for that? I'm curious is that also come

493
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 5: with pressure that you feel added pressure when you sign

494
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: something like that.

495
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 4: And so do.

496
00:20:14,359 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 11: I wanna say pressure? I would say, uh, expectations from

497
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,520
Speaker 11: uh people. You know, teams are definitely gonna be you know,

498
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,440
Speaker 11: maybe blocking me different uh uh expecting d uh different

499
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 11: ways that they're gonna try to swow me down. So

500
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 11: I guess you could say pressure intls of ruh. Pressure

501
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 11: myself to uh stay polished and stay focused and stay

502
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,159
Speaker 11: better than I was last year. So that's the only

503
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 11: pressure I feel. Outside of that, it's just expectations and

504
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 11: just the world to keep working.

505
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 8: So this one's been like working with new Uh, that's

506
00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 8: like Frish Dennis Johnson.

507
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 4: Uh, just going through everything.

508
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, Dennis is great. You know, d Uh, Dennis is cool.

509
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 6: He he he he.

510
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,719
Speaker 11: He kept protects in Baylor. I'm protected, so we had

511
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:53,879
Speaker 11: that connection. But outside of that, you know, he's just

512
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 11: a good guy. Uh, somebody that you know has very

513
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 11: good insight about the game and tryna find ways to

514
00:20:58,840 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 11: get better and brings a good end.

515
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 6: You too. I like that and it's good. You know,

516
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:04,159
Speaker 6: you prepare in.

517
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,639
Speaker 10: Any different way or try to use try to perfect

518
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,399
Speaker 10: any different moves when you're expecting to get more double teased.

519
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

520
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 11: Uh, but overall, I think the uh most important thing

521
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 11: for me is just staying in shape, staying you know,

522
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 11: in great shape, having a high motor and uh, just

523
00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 11: focusing on waste and I get tired. And that's why

524
00:21:22,200 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 11: I was talking about earlier about the nutrition and just

525
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 11: uh sleeping, all those little things to add up it

526
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 11: will help me standpoint and in those things.

527
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 5: So what's your biggest focus of you know, from a

528
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 5: technique standpoint, on something you want to improve on or

529
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 5: goal or so forth.

530
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 11: Uh man, I mean this is obviously I worked on

531
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 11: everything strength, uh, technique, pass, rush moves. So I'll just

532
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 11: say everything is getting better in at at everything, every

533
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 11: aspect of the game just be you know, a whole

534
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 11: where well rounded, uh player, I think would just be

535
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 11: great for our defensive Yeah.

536
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 6: Did you feel like you ended last.

537
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 7: Year maybe playing the best you ever did? I mean

538
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 7: that Texas game is came was incredible.

539
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 10: Chiefs game incredible that you feel like you're almost disappointed

540
00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 10: to see the season in short, as you were almost.

541
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 7: Reaching new heights every single week.

542
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I always feel like I can do better.

543
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 11: I just feel like, uh, you know, after those performances,

544
00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 11: even though I played well, I just in my head,

545
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 11: I'm like, no, they haven't seen nothing yet. You know,

546
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 11: I I c I I can even be better. I

547
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,239
Speaker 11: can even be stronger, I can be faster. So that's

548
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 11: just the mentality I I come into work with. And

549
00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 11: you know, I just try to put into fruition through

550
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 11: the hard work and just staying focused and you know,

551
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 11: the let the chips fall, oh where they may, you know,
